We present a new study of the asymmetries of synthetic hydrogen Lyman line profiles and suggest the mechanism of their formation.
In order to obtain the synthetic Lyman line profiles, we use multi-thread prominence fine-structure model consisting of identical vertical 2D threads. The 2D thread models are in magnetohydrostatic (MHS) equilibrium, include an empirical prominence-corona transition region (PCTR) and consistently solve the 2D non-LTE radiative transfer. Individual threads of the multi-thread fine-structure model have a randomly assigned LOS velocities.
The synthetic Lyman spectrum obtained by our multi-thread modelling exhibits substantial asymmetries of the line profiles even thought the LOS velocities of individual threads are only of the order of 10 km s-1. Moreover, our results show that the synthetic Lyman-? profiles may exhibit an opposite asymmetry as compared to higher Lyman lines. These results are in agreement with the observed Lyman line profiles from SOHO/SUMER.
The presence and the behaviour of the asymmetrical profiles of the synthetic Lyman spectrum is in agreement with observed profiles taken by SUMER.
